The the design seems pretty easy actually. They are just using extruded aluminum also.
Mac you hit upon my other interest is Architecture(Applying for Grad School as we type. Portfolio stuff). Would be interesting to set something up and try some architecture stuff also.
I like thier design because it eliminates the whole table thing to keep everything straight.
The only thing I might worry about is some movement of the large blank for the surfboard as the cut moves along but I was thinking of this more as a semi rough cut blank cutter and finish the smotthing and final finish before glassing by hand. Of course the closer i could get it to the glassing stage would be great.
Luckily my dad was a blacksmith so I have some "toys" to work with i.e. Mig welder and other things. Besides having him around to help build it.
I am sure he is disappointed in his girl!!! I have Four older brothers and I turned out to like and be interested in many things they are and he is!!!
Although my former boyfriends never seemed to mind I was girly enough for them, cept for me wanting to drive the cycle!!!
Anyway keep up the suggestions and happy 4th!!!
Dont forget the troops!
Much Luv Ashley
